Causing Detriment

The Republican Party is operating with a philosophy of detriment that, by default, the Democratic Party has to go along with to avoid the detriment Republicans are using to anchor-in the detriment.

It's quite clear we are deliberately operating with a normative philosophy of detriment. While it may appear to be shamelessly selfish and unenlightened, according to our fearless leaders, it's for our own good.

The detriment, however, (the distribution of over-accumulated risk) is NPO--it is Non-Pareto-Optimal. The distribution from the accumulation is beneficial in zero-sum--it produces an accumulative, highly divisible benefit for the top-income class at the expense of everyone else. This, according to conservatives, is the American way and it is un-American (abnormal) to do it any other way.

It is normal for the people to be anxious about their fate in the more capable hands of others who exact detriment for the good of the republic. A confident, unfearing leadership is the emblem of a strong, stable, form of government that we can all give good credit with full faith.

When the elite become anxious about "the mob," it is not because the risk has been over-extended, but because it is normal for the masses to resist the much-needed medicine to cure, in zero-sum, the detriment that ails them. It is unnatural, the elite argue, for mass anxiety to translate into the will of the people because it is detrimental to the full faith and credit of the republic.

Producing benefit by causing detriment is not only bad politics, it is terrible economics! All it does is accumulate risk, which is already over-accumulated to the point of sovereign-debt default. It is bankrupting our nation and more of the same just won't do!

If you don't think benefiting by causing detriment is a good philosophy for governing our political and economic fate, then you need to get active.

The risk has accumulated well beyond the level of political tolerance.

If the rich think they can only be rich by trampling on everybody else, then we will all find out, quite normatively, what it really means to be a republican in the Jeffersonian form.
